The smoke bars have also been replaced. The fixing lugs are present. The fire is solid and heavy and has an attractive design. The body of the fire has a heavy border with a decorative border surrounding the fire opening. The cross bar features decorative scrolls and the fire back has a sun motif above the concrete fire back. The mantel is solid and chunky.
